I can't tell whether that's a joke. People on Twitter are often funny, so it could be a joke. However, people on Twitter are also often clueless, so there could be a genuine desire to publicly post a controversial opinion without that opinion inspiring public conversation.

It's not a joke and he certainly isn't clueless.

Perhaps not clueless on the topic of browser features, but probably on the topic of whether tweeting is a public or private action.

Just so there is no doubt, I am NOT @lapcatsoftware. I just went to look for the tweet referenced here and I noticed this, so I am relaying it here. I have a feeling anyone reading the discussion here does understand the idea behind HN. If you did want to engage @lapcatsoftware, you may want to do it on Twitter.

I know you're not ;) Hence the ">>"

I don't do Twitter, so that won't be me
